[PATCH 00/29] staging: rtl8723au: Remove bad layer API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>

Greg,

Another set of rtl8723au changes - this was meant to be a 'I'll just
fix this little issue' but snowballed into a fair bit more, as I
realized just how bad the original code was (patch 10 onwards).

The bulk of this set removes a bad layered API. The original driver is
trying to moduralize different components (RF handling, baseband
handling, 80211 handling etc). They try to create layer independant
types they can pass around (which is bad enough by itself), but in
this particular case they registered pointers to the original values
and derefenced those, losing all type checking in the process and kept
multiple defines of the same constants to use in each layer (patch 17). 

In addition there are a few other remove empty function fixes, and
patch 29/29 fixes a locking issue that could be relevant for 3.16.

The set is clean against staging-next as of this morning.

Cheers,
Jes
